Formal Collaboration/Co-operative

Hi
We are a small school who is looking to join a co-operative with other local schools in order to survive in the coming years and I was hoping that somewhere out there there was someone who could offer some practical advice on this and how it works (or doesn't work) in reality.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved - thank you.
